The python build i have so far is quite decent...but I think i wanna do more. Am thinking of mining using a Type 9. Have my base build here. What do you guys think?
P/s - as I am handling a beast of a ship, would strongly want to have my docking computer there...

There's a fair chance that you'll get blown up by an NPC and lose your night's work. It's not so easy to win the interdiction game with a T9, so you'll get pulled out sooner or later. Those weapons aren't going to do anything against an interdicting pirate. That's if you can even turn to point at it. With such a low boost speed, you've got no chance of out-running anybody, so your only chance is tank incoming fire until you can hi-wake to another system. The build you have is not tanky enough. As soon as your shields are down, they'll get your thrusters, which will have you looking at the rebuy screen shortly after. You need to have a clear strategy of how to deal with that situation. Some people are happy using a T9.
You can get a Cutter in a day now, which is ten times better than a T9. The problem now is getting it all done before the nerf, which I think is tomorrow. If I were you, I'd stick to my winning formula until then. After that, you can figure out what's best, but I think the days of filling a T9 with LTDs in an evening will be over, at least in the short term.
Did you read the recent thread about the guy that went out mining LTDs in a T9. He made it back to the station, only to get jammed in the slot. Just saying!
